<p><span style="font-weight:400">Darline Graham Nordone, the sister of the late Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), announced Monday that she is running to succeed her brother in the U.S. Senate.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">Nordone announced her decision to enter the race during an interview with <a href="https://x.com/FoxNews/status/2079270238902693913?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News host Sean Hannity.</a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">“I’m in,” Nordone told Hannity on Monday, acknowledging </span><span style="font-weight:400">“a tremendous amount of pressure” around the decision.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">“I have been praying a lot, talking to my family, but with the love of my family, with the support of his staff, I know I’m a hard worker. I learned that from Lindsey. He cared about the people of this state. I worked for almost 30 years for the people of this state, I feel like I can do it,” she said. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">“I feel an inner peace about it. Will it be difficult? Yes. Absolutely,” she added. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">Nordone’s announcement comes days after President Donald Trump endorsed her before she had publicly announced her candidacy. </span></p>
<p><a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116936914779266256" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight:400">In a Truth Social post</span></a><span style="font-weight:400">, Trump backed Nordone to run in the August 11 special GOP primary, telling her: “RUN, DARLINE, RUN!”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">“She is a spectacular person, and a true American Patriot,” Trump said about Nordone. “Lindsey was one of the greatest people and Senators I have ever known, and his sister shares his deep love of our Country, and the State of South Carolina.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">Graham unexpectedly died earlier this month at his Capitol Hill home in what the medical examiner’s office believes was an </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lindsey-graham-medical-examiner-releases-preliminary-cause-of-death" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight:400">aortic dissection</span></a><span style="font-weight:400">. Before collapsing, Graham reportedly told a staffer he was experiencing chest pain. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">Graham had easily won his Republican primary in June before his sudden death upended the race. Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette and Reps. Russell Fry, Nancy Mace, and Ralph Norman are among the prominent Republicans considering a run.</span></p>
<p><a href="https://www.dgraham.senate.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight:400">Nordone</span></a><span style="font-weight:400"> earned a bachelor’s degree in sociology from the College of Charleston and a master’s degree in rehabilitation counseling from South Carolina State University. She later worked as a vocational rehabilitation counselor and served on the South Carolina Commission for the Blind.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400"><a href="https://www.cookpolitical.com/senate/race/488671" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Cook Political Report</a> ranks the seat as Solid Republican going into November.</span></p>
